Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Truth Seekers podcast. A Truth truth seeker is someone who wants to know the truth. They search for what's true and they won't rest until they find it. I am a truth

seeker and if you are too then you've come to the right place where we will

search for truth each week in the stories of the Bible.

In our last episode we met David. David was the one God had anointed to be the new king over Israel.

What do you think David must have been thinking?

Maybe he was thinking, I'm too young to be king.

Or maybe he was thinking, I'm just a shepherd boy.

I don't know anything about being a king.

Well, David had time to think about all of this, because, you see, he did not become king right that moment.

Even though Samuel had anointed David, Saul was still king.

David would only become king after the Lord removed Saul from the throne.

When would that be you ask?

Well let's continue the story to find out.

Now remember Saul had disobeyed the Lord more than one time.

Saul's heart had become hardened to the voice of God.

He no longer listened to Samuel or to the Lord,

but did only as he wanted. Saul had turned his back on the Lord, but did only as he wanted.

Saul had turned his back on the Lord, and the Bible says that the Spirit of the Lord

had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit tormented him.

This means that Saul was not a happy person.

In fact, he was miserable.

You see, God is the source of our joy.
